Victorian greyhound trainer avoids ban despite dog being found with cocaine in system
Veteran Victorian greyhound trainer Geoffrey Dalton avoided an active industry ban after the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) rejected an appeal from regulator Greyhound Racing Victoria, upholding a 2025 Victorian Racing Tribunal decision that gave Dalton a $300 fine and fully suspended 9-month disqualification after his dog Soda Apache tested positive for cocaine ahead of a 2024 race. The ruling coincided with data from the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds showing 30 greyhounds died at or after Victorian races in 2026, the highest count in Australia.
